I don't know why I'm even doing this. Please don't read any of this... and if you do, just pretend like you didn't. I feel regret boiling inside of my veins already... but here goes:
If I had any sense of commitment in life I'd be somewhat of a successful overachiever, because I am the classic example of somebody who tries way too hard. I guess it's some sort of coping mechanism to relieve how shitty I feel all the time, but it never really works (and on that note, that's why I'm never going to touch alcohol or any other substance as long as I live!). I think it's why I have anxiety. I feel like if I can do my best to make everyone like me, my self esteem is going to magically skyrocket into the outer limits of the universe and the pain will all subside. Unfortunately, even though people seem to like the guy I am, I still feel dead. Plus, it sucks all the life out of me to try and be whatever it is in my mind I think people will like. That's where social anxiety really comes into play. Basically, being a perfectionist sucks ass.
But even through accomplishments, no matter how big or small they are, the grass is ALWAYS greener. I tend to think that if I win everyone over, or I get an awesome girlfriend (confession #2, i'm still a virgin), or I'm really successful, or blah blah blah (fill in the blank) that i will ultimately be a happy person all around. However, the older I get the more I'm realizing that none of that is true. You just can't get happy that way.
I hope nobody's reading this, cause it sucks. I don't even know why I'm posting this here. I guess what I'm really trying to get at is that... there is no outside cure. There really is no sense in trying so damn hard, and I think I'm finally realizing what SA really is, and why I have it. All I've done so far is try to block out how badly I feel inside by overachieving in everything i do, or being perfect at everything. And as everyone knows, YOU CAN'T be perfect. You can't always be the best. And it sucks to find that out when it's what you've based you life around. Seriously.
In the end though, I am so sick of trying. Or trying too hard, rather. I'm starting to believe that happiness comes straight from the soul, not from our material plane. Everything seems to be a quick fix, and I'm honestly ready to give up and just start living a fun life, and less of a meaniingful existence or whatever it is I'm trying to hard to lead.
I doubt anyone feels the same way, but here I go hitting the damn submit button. If this is the last post I make on this site, now you know why. See you around.
